In a major move toward cleaner and more sustainable hospitality solutions, JLA Hospitality, a division of JLA Home, has announced a strategic partnership with FUZE Technologies, a company known for its cutting-edge antimicrobial technology. This collaboration aims to enhance both hygiene and environmental standards across a wide range of hospitality textiles and room accessories.
In the partnership’s first phase, FUZE’s patented F1 antimicrobial treatment will be integrated into JLA’s full portfolio of hospitality products. This includes not only bedding items like sheets, blankets, and comforters, but also bathrobes, slippers, shower curtains, and room accessories such as tissue boxes and ice buckets.
“JLA is a leader in supplying textiles and accessories to major global retailers,” said Andrew Peterson, CTO and founder of FUZE. “By incorporating FUZE’s long-lasting, chemical-free F1 treatment into these products, we aim to raise industry standards for hygiene and sustainability.”
FUZE Introduces F1 Protection
FUZE’s F1 solution is composed of 99.99% purified water, free of harmful chemicals, and certified by the EPA. It offers permanent protection against odor-causing bacteria, mold, and fungi—even after more than 100 washes—without disrupting the human biome or the environment.
This initiative supports JLA’s broader mission of offering innovative, sustainable solutions to the hospitality sector. “Our partnership with FUZE reflects our long-term commitment to operational efficiency, guest satisfaction, and environmental responsibility,” noted Brett Rife, President of Sales and Divisional Leader at JLA Hospitality. “It’s about enhancing the guest experience while maximizing return on investment for our clients.”
While antimicrobial treatments in the textile industry have traditionally relied on harsh chemicals, FUZE’s eco-safe formula represents a significant breakthrough—especially in applying long-lasting protection to typically untreated products like room accessories.
By combining JLA’s global reach and product expertise with FUZE’s sustainable technology, the two companies aim to create the market’s most comprehensive line of treated hospitality goods—cleaner, safer, and more future-ready.
